PASTING MACHINE Fred 'Cavallari and Peter Ori, Reading, Pa. 7 Application March 27, 1935, Serial No. 13,355

1 1 Claim.

The'invention relates to a pasting machine and more especially to a roll wall paper pasting ma chine.

The primary object of the invention is the pro- 5 vision of a machine of this character, wherein paste or adhesive can be applied economically to the face of wall paper without Waste of the paste or adhesive and in such a manner to enable the matching of the design appearing on several rolls of wall paper thus e f-m'inating any possibility of waste of the paper.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a machine of this character, wherein the construction thereof is novel inform so that excessive paste or adhesive applied to the paper will be combed therefrom during the pasting operation of the machine.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a machine of this character, which is sim- 2 ple in construction, thoroughly reliable and efficient in its operation, readily and easily handled, convenient for use, economical in the operation thereof, strong, durable, and inexpensive to manufacture.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which disclose the pre-- 30 ferred embodiment of the invention and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary top plan view of the machine constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof.

Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the machine.

Figure 4 is a fragmentary front elevation of the 40 same.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawings.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the stand which is fragmentarily shown at A includes a horizontally disposed open frame I!) for removably receiving a paste or adhesive container in the form of a basin I! open at its top and having a reinforced rounded marginal edge or rim [2 adapted to rest upon the top edge of the frame I0 for the support of the basin therein.

Midway of the frame H] and at each side thereof is arranged a bearing l3 having a swinging releasing cap l4 fastened in working position for a spring clip l5 carried by the frame and these bearings l3 have j 'curnaled therein the axle l6 of a paste applying roll or cylinder I! which is freely rotatableand depends within the basin I l for collecting paste or adhesive therefrom, the paste or adhesive being indicated at 8 within 5 the basin H "Ihe cap M of each bearing l3 permits the ready removal of the roll or cylinder H: when the occasion requires.

Fixed to opposite sides of the frame I0 and disposed inclined in the direction of the roll or 0 cylinder I! are the opposed brackets I 9 for the mounting or holding of a paper roll 20, the same being wall paper and is arbored by an irregularly facedjo urnal 2i to prevent the slipping of the roll thereon when mounted in the machine and this journal Zihas its ends engaged in and guided in slots 22 provided in the brackets l9 so that the roll will gravitate and be urged toward the roll or cylinder I! for contact therewith to have paste or adhesive applied thereto at one face of the paper constituting such roll.

Arranged above the highest point of the roll or cylinder I1 is a paste comb 23 supported by uprights 24 fixed to and arranged at opposite sides of the frame and likewise arranged at opposite sides of the roll or cylinder IT. This comb 23 plays upon the side of the paper of the roll 20 receiving paste or adhesive from the roll or cylinder I! so as to remove excess paste or adhesive and toeliminate paste at the extreme edges of said paper. This comb includes the teeth 24' and the same being much finer at the ends of the comb than therebetween in order to comb off the excess paste or adhesive while these teeth at the edges thereof are at an angle to further insure 35 this process and thus prevent the edges of the paper from becoming soiled with paste or adhesive.

Swingingly connected with the frame I I] are upwardly arched or curved arms 25, the swinging connection with said frame being had through pivotal bearings 26 and these arms have journaled therein a take-up or guide roller 21 which is located to be in close relation to the comb 23 when in working position. The arms at the free ends thereof carry a cross handle bar 28 while at the outside of the arms are keeper lugs 29 provided by the ends of a reinforcement rod 30 disposed crosswise of the arms and with each of these lugs 29 is engageable a hold-down hook 3| pivoted at 32 to the upright 24 and tensioned by a spring 33. In this manner the arms 25 will be latched down when the take-up or guide roller 21 is in working position with the paper of the roll 20 trained over the comb 23 and about the said roller 21 as is indicated by dotted lines in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawings. These arms support a reflector 34 which enables a user of the machine to ascertain the design appearing on the under face of the paper of the roll 20 delivered from the machine.

The reflector 34 has in association therewith a knife or blade 35 so that the paper may be severed at the point desired of the stretch thereof. It will be obvious that as the paper is pulled from the roll 20 when threaded through the machine one face of the paper will receive paste or adhesive from the roll or cylinder l1 and the user of the machine can readily ascertain the design on the other face of the paper through the use oi the reflector 34 so as to match this design with other paper in applying the same to a wall. That is to say, the severed end of one stretch of paper carrying a determined design may be matched with another stretch of paper for a continuity of the design on applying the paper to a wall.

The take-off of the paper from the machine is located in close proximity to the brackets for the roll 26 of paper so that the paste or adhesive applying area is at the minimum with respect to the roll or cylinder l1 and the paper.

At the working end of the machine and carried by the frame ID are work bed or table attaching brackets 36 so that a work bed or table top can be conveniently associated with the frame I!) of the machine.

It is, of course, understood that by swinging the arms 25 upwardly and rearwardly the roller 21 will be carried away from the roll or cylinder H for freedom of access to the parts of the machine and such roller 21 when in working position is located close to the comb 23 and the arms will swing forwardly and downwardly and latched or locked. This swinging of the arms permits the threading of the paper through the machine for the pasting operation thereof.

What is claimed is:

A machine of the character described comprising a stand forming a support, a horizontally arranged removable paste container within said support, a paste applying roll detachably journaled with the support substantially centrally of said container, arms fixed to the support and having channels in their inner sides inclined toward the paste applying roll, a journal having its ends loosely engaged in the channels for a roll of paper, upwardly arched arms above the paste applying roll and each hinged at one end to the support for encircling a major portion of the upper part of said paste applying roll, a guide roll journaled in the last-named arms and located midway of the uppermost portion of the paste applying roll for reverse turning of paper from the said roll of paper and maintaining said paper contacting with the paste applying roll, uprights on sa1d support, a toothed comb carried by said uprights and operating on the paper at the side contacting with the paste applying roll and havingrfine teeth at opposite ends and coarser teeth intermediate thereof for combing off excess paste, the teeth at the ends of the comb being angularly set and actuating to prevent the edges of the paper from becoming soiled with paste, keepers on the last-named arms next to said uprights, and spring tensioned latches on the uprights and engaging the keepers to hold the said last-named arms at rest next to the said comb.
